A very good copy of this landmark work on equine anatomy. This copy in the first issue, without watermarks and on laid paper. The artist, previously renowned as a portrait painter, became synonymous with depicting horses after this work was published. It highlighted his supreme draughtsmanship & observational talents. Provenance: Royal Veterinary College (ink library stamp).

First Edition
Large oblong folio. (18 1/16 x 23 1/2 inches). On laid paper with text and plates mounted on guards throughout. 24 etched plates all by Stubbs. Expertly bound to style in 18th-century half Russia over 18th-century marbled paper-covered boards, spine gilt in seven compartments with raised bands, red Morocco lettering-piece in the second compartment, the others with elaborate overall repeat decoration built up from various small tools. (Some expert restoration). "A landmark in the history both of anatomy and art." (Ray). First edition, first or early issue on laid paper. One of a select group of books which can be said to have "revolutionized men's understanding of the natural world" (Lennox-Boyd). The etchings have a "fine exactness and austere beauty" that "give them a timeless beauty" (Ray). The desirability of this work is vastly increased if the plates are printed on the thick laid paper, used for the 1766 first issue and for most other copies published during Stubbs's lifetime: the printing of the plates shows a precision that is somehow lacking in the later impressions printed on wove paper. The present example is printed on laid paper throughout. Examples on laid paper are increasingly difficult to find - even the Duke of Gloucester's copy (which sold for over $34,000 at auction in London) was on wove paper. Stubbs produced the drawings over an 18 month period, working from a number of "models" and keeping each carcass in his studio for as long as six or seven weeks. In order to produce this work he taught himself how to etch, as he had been unable to find an engraver. "The work appeared in 1766, and remained the standard authority on the subject for nearly a century . . . In 1771 . . . Camper . . . whose work on the relationship of art to anatomy had won international recognition, wrote to Stubbs, comparing his work with that of the great Albinus, whose Tabulae Sceleti et Musculorum Corporis Humani had appeared in 1749. It is entirely appropriate to rank The Anatomy of the Horse with Thomas Pennant's British Zoology (1770) and Gilbert White's Natural History of Selbourne (1789), among the most important of the several works of this time which, by emphasizing the importance of precise systematic observation, revolutionized men's understanding of the natural world" (Lennox-Boyd).

First Edition
(19 1/2 x 23 1/4 inches). (2) 47pp. Rare errata leaf pasted onto endpaper. 24 etched plates all by Stubbs. Half calf over gray boards to style, gilt morocco label to upper cover, raised bands, gilt title on label. First edition, on laid paper throughout. A landmark work of equine anatomy. One of a select group of books which can be said to have 'revolutionised men's understanding of the natural world' (Lennox-Boyd). The etchings have a 'fine exactness and austere beauty' that 'give them a timeless beauty' (Ray). The desirability of this work is vastly increased if the plates are on thick laid paper, used for the 1766 first edition. First edition early printings from the plates shows a precision that later impressions, printed on wove paper, cannot match. Examples on laid paper are increasingly difficult to find - even the Duke of Gloucester's copy (sold for over $34,000 at auction in 2006) was printed on wove paper. Stubbs created these remarkable illustrations over a period of 18 months, during which he painstakingly dissected a number of horses, keeping carcasses in his studio for six or seven weeks. Stubbs taught himself how to make the engravings, and produced them over the next six years. The plates document all layers of equine anatomy, revealing the muscles, ligaments, nerves, veins, skeleton, etc. Stubbs' bibliographer Christopher Lennox-Boyd ranked Anatomy of the Horse as 'among the most important of the several works of its time which, by emphasizing the importance of precise systematic observation, revolutionised men's understanding of the natural world.' Originally published in 1766, the work's enduring popularity saw it being issued well into the 19th century.
